The 205cm shaft is 40% carbon fibre and glass fibre for flex and Curve Locke lever system adjusts the feather from 0-90 degrees angle dependant on the strength & direction of the wind. The simple one finger system allows easy adjustment on the water, even in rough sea conditions. It also adds up to 10 centimetres in the length of the paddle, perfect for long distance paddles in a straight line. Most sea kayakers will paddle around 210-215 centimetres for comfortable trunk rotation, particularly in bumpier sea conditions.
Curve Locke Joiner
The Curve Locke has been developed over twelve years for the surfski market where paddling in very dynamic environments sometimes resulted in injuries to hands cut on aluminium leverlcoks. Our Curve Locke system has weathered the test of time in the demanding sea surf conditions of the Indian Ocean. The orange lever is made of Nylon 6 which is flexible & doesn't wear or break easily. The flex on the little lever provides some give when opening & adjusting quickly. Its also designed flat so it fits snugly into the shallow recess to prevent injuries.
The body is a percentage combination of Nylon 6 & glass fibre reinforced plastic, stiffer and stronger with a strong clamp that doesn't fail.
The blade is the Kinetic shape offering solid bite without flutter and a good surface area for distance and rough water paddling. Reinforced joints ensure confidence in surf and rolling and the shaft offers stiffness with right and left handed options and soft rubber hand grip positions, easy to find in rough conditions. This is a crankshaft.
NOTE: Celtic paddles are unable to manufacture any crankshaft paddles at the moment. And competing manufacturers equivalent specifications are at least £150 more expensive!
A high quality, strong, more advanced paddle for more advanced sea kayakers serious about building skills.
